A Steamer Goes to the Bottom of
the River at New York.
NEW YORK, Feb. 10.--The British
steamer Wells City was anchored of pier
No. Sc, North river, this morning, when
a heavy field of ice coming down the
river on the outgoing tide caused her to
drag her anchor. She had no steam
on and was helpless. She driftod
a mile and a half until she ran
broadside on the bow OF the Morgan
line steamer Lone Star, which
was also at anchor in mid
stream. The cut water OF the Lone
Star struck the Wells City just abaft the
engine room and cut a hole in her large
enough to admit two-horse truck, ana
she sunk in twenty minutes. Those on
board escaped in their own boats.
The Lone Star had all she could do
to save herself, but finally got up steam
and ran behind pier. She suffered only
a few hundred dollars damage. The
Wells City was a new vessel valued at
$l50,000, and her cargo was valued at
$140, ,000 Both are fully insured on tho
other side of the Atlantic. The Wells
City's masts and smoke stack are visible
above the water opposite Christopher

Senators Gibson and Hoar Address
the Senate on the Subject.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-The Senate at
2:45 O'Clock this afterternoon resumed
consideration OF the Eads' Tehuantepec
bill and was addressed by MIR. Gibson in
support Of it. He favored any and all at
tempts to pierce the Isthmus, and was
not even jealous OF De Lesseps' Panama
scheme. He was in favor OF the Mica
ragua canal, but he preferred this
Tehuantepec route above all because 1t
was wholly upon the territory OF a
friendly neighbor, who proposed
to aid Ii materially, and
because ii would be wholly
free from International complication, and
would be defensible if need be by force,
which could reach it from the United
States wholly by land. He had no par
titular fear, he said, of the British lion.
" treated properly that animal was a
peaceable one. He proposed TO legislate
on this question without reference to any
resentments that might still linger in the
minds of some against Great Britain.
The people OF the United States and of
Great Britain understood that whenever
an American right was invaded the
United States were in the language of
John G. CalhOun) one and inseparable.
THE PRIZE AT STAKE.
Mr.. HOar spoke in favor of the bill as
one OF the most important steps that the
American people had taken for genera
tion, and of which the prize was to be
control OF the markets OF the world.
Alter sketching the course of commerce
in the past and in the present, he SAID
that hereafter commerce was TO seek
direct paths although continents had to
be severed. He wished to disclaim the
suggestion made the other day by Senator
Morgan that the Gadsden treaty of 1853
was still in force and could be enforced
on Mexico, and also the suggestion
that the Clayton-Bulwer treaty mad ex-
pired through the lapse OF time. Both
those propositions were encountered by
the declarations Of the American govern
ment through it's Secretaries of State from
Calhoun himself down to MIR. Blaine,
which stopped toe American government
from asserting either OF those PROPOSE
tions. He held that the theory OF the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty, as applied TO the loca-
tion OF the Nicaragua canal, was the only
theory consistent with the true interests
of the United States. Without finishing
his argument, the Senate, at 4:25 o'clock,
adjourned.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-The New York
Catholic News has received the following
special dispatch from Rome: "The two
American Cardinals will arrive here In
time to take part in two of the most inter.
esting celebrations witnessed annually

HEWITT ON NLABOR'S WARS
DESPOTIC ORGANIZATION A
TWO-HEADED EVIL.

workmen and Employers Both WrOnged
by Too Great Concentration of
Power in the He ads Of Labor Organi-
z,tions-A Free Field for Toll Indis-
pensab'e G to Human Rights.
NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-At the annual
dinner of the Stationers' Board of Trade
tonight a letter of regret was read from
Mayor Hewitt, who is yet confined to mis-
house, and in which Mr.. Hewitt wrote
thus: "Just now the city is suffering
and seems likely to suffer from a new
form Of despotism, by which
not only employers but en-
ployes are deprived OF all free agency and
are made subject to the control of a Sc
cret body, wher originated and of whom
composed no one seems to know. | do
not believe that the people OF this
country, especially its intelligent
workmen, whose right to organize for
mutual advantage no one denies, will
long continue TO submit themselves to
the intolerable oppression of strikes and
boycotts and in refusing to earn their daily
bread at the will of secret body whose
0mandates are given without explanation
~and from whose orders there seems to be
no appeal. While | would maintain the
right of men to organize In their own way
for their own protection, | would insist
upon the right OF other men who do not
choose to connect themselves with
associations, but prefer to act as
free lances, If you choose,
to exercise their undoubted right of indi-
vidual choice. Least of all is it to be
conceded that one set Of men shall de-
prive other sets of men of the rights of
labor. Such doctrine reduces free labor
TO a condition OF seriage more lntOlerable
than that which prevailed in the Middle
Ages. There will be no security until
the intelligence of the community
is aroused and decision arrived at
on the part of employers that they will
not permit any portion of their men to be
coerced in their right to join or to refuse
to join trade associations. l would not
discourage such associations. but on the
contrary l shall hope to see the time when
masters and w0rkmen will belong to such
organizations intended TO promote
the welfare of the trade IN which
they are engaged. There may be
at times differences of opinion, and even
strikes, but it ia intolerable that under
any circumstances the business of
whole community shall be arrested be-
cause some man may imagine he has a
grievance which requires the sacrifice of
thousands OF people in order that he
may get rights that ought to be
secured to him by law and
confirmed in the courts if they
be denied. In other words, In this coun-
try the only overruling power is the law,
which establishes the will of the people,
and any attempt to establish any other
tribunal in the courts, and especially
irresponsible and secret tribunals, can
only bring on paralysis of Industry and
ruin of the very class whose interests are
at stake"

NEW YORK's RIVER FRONT.

ing Much More Smoothly.
NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-Along the river
fronts to-day there was no indication
that any difficulty existed between the
longshOremen and railroad and steamship
lines. At the railroad piers the loading
of cars on big floats was being carried on
with regularity, and at the cOastwise and
southern port steamship companys' all
evidences of the recent struggle were OBJ
liberated. The steamer City of Atlanta,
OF the Clyde line, which reached her dock
Monday, discharged her cargo yesterday
and is now on the dry dock being exam
med as to the damage done by the COL
llslon with the schooner off Charleston
harbor on Feb. 4. the superintendent
says the work of discharging her had
been done quicker than the old hands
would have accomplished it. Police Cap
tain Murphy said that the strikers re-
mained In their houses now and caused
no trouble. Everything was as quiet as
before the strike.
STRIKERS CHEERED UP.
The report that the brewers and engi-
neers were about to strike reached the vi
olHity of the piers late in the afternoon
to-day, and in a short time there We're
more strikers on the street corners oppO-
site the docks than were seen at one time
since the longshoremen and freight ham
dlers ceased work. The rumor was re-
oeived with great rejoicing by the strik-
ers, and wavering men seemed encour-
aged. The managers and superIntend.
ents OF the piers and docks, however,
along the whole river front, say most en-
phatically that they will not take back
any of their old hands. They assert that
the men they have now are giving satis-
faction, and under no circumstances
would they be turned away.
FIFTY FREIGHT HANDS RESUME WORK.
JERSEY CITY, n. j., Feb. 10.-Fifty
striking freight handlers of the Northern
railroad OF New Jersey returned to work
this afternoon. They were re-employed
without exception. The Italians dis,
placed by their unemployment were set
to work on the Erie docks.

Buildings Floating Down the Stream

LYONS, MICH, Feb. 10.-An ice gorge
has formed on Grand river just below
town, and the entire business portion Of
the town is under water. Many families
have been driven from their dwellings,,
and all the malls from the north and west
are cut of. Boats manned with three or
four oarsmen each are making strenu-
Gus efforts to save property. Some
buildings have been swept down the
stream, and others must surely 60. The
current is cutting the embankment OF the

torrents through the factories. Those
who can are anohoring their buildings 10

are covered by the ice gorge to a depth of
20 teet. At Lansing, Mich, above mere

SNOW ON THE RANGES.

Disastrous Losses Sustained by Cat
tie Men in the Northwest.
CHICAGO, Feb. l0.-Specials from Da-
kota and Montana repeat the accounts OF
heavy losses to stock men from heavy
SHOWS and long continued cold. Snow has
lain upon the ground continuously since
the middle OF November, and 1t has been
necessary to feed during the greater part
of that time. Forage is consequently so
scarce that straw stacks two and three
years old are being bought up for feeding
purposes. Heretofore it has been neces-
sary to feed comparatively little In win
ter.
A special from Butte, Mon., says the
cattle loss in Montana, near Fort Assini-
boiue, is estimated at 70 per cent. Sixty
dollars is refused for ton OF coal, and
green willow poles are selling at $l4 a
load, Flour and oil are also scarce.

Committees of the Two Sides Meet
but Fail to Agree.
BOSTON, Feb. 10.-A committee of the
South Boston railroad strikers met the
committee of the directors this afternoon
but failed to reach settlement, and a
second conference was held late tonight
with the same result. The men made a
proposition that they would return to
work ii they were taken back in a body,
but the directors refused to bind them
selves by any such agreement. They
consented, however, to take back twenty
five more men than they actually needed,
but this was unsatisfactory. 1t is
generally understood that the company
will attempt to run cars either tomorrow
or Saturday, and the present temper of
the men indicates that trouble will attend
the attempt. On the Cambridge road mat
ters are practically unchanged. One or two
cases of intimidation OF new men by the
strikers are reported, but there has been
no serious trouble. The company has
employed about $50 new men, but no at
tempt has yet been made to start a car,
and it is not known when there will be,

The Men Offer to work Tor Less

PITTsBURG, Feb. 10.-The Monongahe-
ia miners'resumed work this morning In
the first, second and third pools. The
pits are not all running yet but they are
expected to be in complete operation
within couple of days, by which time
majority OF the miners will be ready to
resume work. Tue hitch in regard to the
mining rate in the fourth pool promises
to be amicably settled. The miners
have evinced disposition to help
their employers to fill their
contracts. The men at one OF the works
have told their employer to take con-
tracts, and they will mine coal at 20.
less than the decision OF. the National
Board. This will put the rate at 214c.,
thus maintaining difference OF nc. oe-
tween the fourth and other pools. Other
operators think that their miners will
make similar proposition, and the in
dications are that there will be no strike
Ia the fourth pool.
